HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer is characterized by the overexpression of the ERBB2 (HER2) gene, which promotes aggressive tumor growth and poor prognosis. Targeting the ERBB2 pathway with single-agent therapies has shown limited efficacy due to resistance mechanisms and the complexity of gene interactions within the tumor microenvironment. This study aims to explore potential drug synergies by analyzing gene-drug interactions and combination therapies that target the ERBB2 pathway in HER2+ breast tumors.

Objectives: EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) therapies such as erlotinib and gefitinib are approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the high incidence of acquired resistance to these EGFR-TKIs may preclude their effectiveness. Piperlongumine (PPL), an extract from the long pepper fruit (), has been shown to possess anticancer properties.

This study explored the combined administration of docetaxel (DOC) and erlotinib (ERL) using nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), with folic acid (FA) conjugation to enhance their synergistic anticancer efficacy against triple-negative breast cancer. NLCs were developed through hot melt homogenization-ultrasound dispersion, and optimized by a quality-by-design (QbD) approach using Plackett-Burman design and Box-Behnken design. Plots were generated based on maximum desirability.

Background: Integrating molecular-targeted agents into combination chemotherapy is transformative for enhancing treatment outcomes in cancer. However, realizing the full potential of this approach requires a clear comprehension of the genetic dependencies underlying drug synergy. While the interactions between conventional chemotherapeutics are well-explored, the interplay of molecular-targeted agents with conventional chemotherapeutics remains a frontier in cancer treatment.
